Sarcasm?

Anyway I believe that spearfish nailed it. After studying it some more it appears the lcd screen from the nav system is causing it. As the nav system powers up during startup the screen flashes (as it changes), and this causes the false laser alert.

If I switch the nav screen from day to night or night to day while driving it will trigger the laser alert consistently. I just never tied it together.

Anyway I am going to make a small black panel and tape it to the bottom of the radar detector and see if that helps.
